Genealogy Resources at the Cleveland Public Library Genealogical Records & Resources in Cuyahoga County A Guide New: The History and Geography Department is now the Center for Local and Global History Microfilm copies of the Cleveland Press, Plain Dealer, Cleveland News, Cleveland Leader, and Call & Post have been moved from the Microform Center to the Center for Local and Global History Updates to reflect new locations for Cuyahoga County administrative offices Updates to reflect changes to the Cleveland Necrology File and Cleveland News Index Prepared by the Center for Local and Global History Cleveland Public Library Revised July 2, 2015 (Originally published April 2005) Cleveland Public Library Center for Local and Global History 325 Superior Avenue, N.E. [East Sixth St. & Superior Ave.] Cleveland, Ohio 44114 (216) 623-2864 [email protected] www.cpl.org 1 Frequently Asked Questions Where is the genealogy section at Cleveland Public Library? Although the Library does not have a stand-alone genealogy section, it does have extensive genealogy holdings. These can be found in the Center for Local and Global History, on the sixth floor of the Louis Stokes Wing. How do I get started? Genealogy can be both rewarding and time-consuming. If you are new to genealogy research, we recommend that you take some time to determine what you would like to learn about your family. If you consider that you have four grandparents, eight great- grandparents and sixteen great-great grandparents, you can see that the research possibilities are extensive. To help focus your research, please visit www.familysearch.org to learn about the basic steps involved in compiling your family’s history. This site includes helpful sections titled “How do I get started?” and “Helpful Research Guidance,” among others. Will the library answer questions by telephone, e-mail or letter? The Center for Local and Global History (contact information on page 6) will provide quick reference answers to specific questions by telephone, e-mail or letter. Will the library do genealogical research for me? Although genealogy research is a self-directed activity, we are able to give general guidance and to help you answer specific questions. These include questions such as, “Where do I find my grandfather’s naturalization records?” and “Where do I find a birth certificate for my great grandmother born in Nebraska in 1915?” Does the library have my family’s history/genealogy? The Library does not collect family histories, though the Western Reserve Historical Society does. The Library does, however, have a small collection of family histories --for prominent families-- that were acquired before 1975. A subject search by family name in the Library’s Online Catalog will indicate if we own a particular family history. In addition, the HeritageQuest database includes the full text of more than 25,000 family genealogies and county histories. Why do some call numbers begin with numbers and some with letters? Cleveland Public Library uses two classification schemes to arrange its collections. All books acquired before 1975 are arranged according to a modified version of the Dewey Decimal System. The Dewey system uses numbers in the top line (e.g., 989.22). Books acquired since 1975 are arranged according to the Library of Congress Classification System (LC). The LC system uses letters in the top line (e.g., F 499). I found a book in the catalog but it’s not on the shelf. Where is it? Because of the size of the Main Library collections, only a portion of any department’s books can be housed in open stacks. Many older books are housed in closed storage areas at Main Library and off-site. With a few exceptions, all Dewey-classified books are in storage either at Main Library or off-site. Books in off-site storage usually take one day to retrieve (exception: books requested between Friday afternoon and Sunday afternoon are delivered on Monday afternoon at the earliest). LC-classified books that are in storage are stored downtown and can be retrieved within 15 minutes of your request. You are welcome to call in advance to have books retrieved and held for you. May I visit the closed stacks (main library) and/or off-site storage? We are happy to retrieve any books you wish to see. However, due to limited staff availability and security restrictions, there is no direct public access to collections in closed stacks or off-site storage. How do I find a professional genealogist? If you would like to trace your family tree but are unable complete the research, you may want to consider hiring a professional genealogist to do it for you. Here are two organizations that can help you locate a professional genealogist: Association of Professional Genealogists www.apgen.org Telephone (303) 422-9371 The online APG directory provides a list of professional genealogists with members’ contact information, biographies, services and research specialties. The directory allows searching by specialty (such as ethnic group), location, zip code and residence of genealogist.

Forty-four students from the Cleveland Public Schools' John F. Kennedy and West Technical High School participated in the 9-week program. The workshop classes at the Plain Dealer Headquarters provided students an opportunity to learn about the business side of the newspaper industry while allowing them to create and produce their own newspaper. Staff members from the Plain Dealer volunteered their services as workshop instructors and acted as facilitators for students to learn by "doing"--having hands-on experiences, interacting in large/small groups, providing peer assistance, and becoming involved in cooperative learning. Evaluation results indicated 100 percent of the students understood the presenters; 97 percent thought the handout materials were helpful, believed the workshop was a good learning experience, and would recommend that the program be continued; 94 percent learned something about cost accounting, editorial, production, and circulation; 84 percent enjoyed producing the newspaper; and 66 percent might seriously consider working in the newspaper industry.

    THE LAMP OF KNOWLEDGE 2018 Report to the Community THE LAMP OF KNOWLEDGE THE LAMP OF KNOWLEDGE HAS LONG STOOD AS SYMBOL FOR CLEVELAND PUBLIC LIBRARY’S VISION. The design appears in a delicately leaded insert in the glass over the Main Library entrance, carved in marble over the doors leading to Brett Hall, and in tile in the lending area of the Louis Stokes Wing. This motif signals the Library’s efforts to empower the public through free and open access to information and resources, a commitment that has been part of our foundation since 1869. This 2018 Report to the Community shares the work Cleveland Public Library has done this year to ensure the Lamp of Knowledge only grows brighter in the years to come. Our Mission: We are The People’s University, the center of learning for a diverse and inclusive community. Our Vision: Cleveland Public Library will be the driving force behind a powerful culture of learning that will inspire Clevelanders from all walks of life to continually learn, share, and seek out new knowledge in ways that are beneficial to themselves, their community, and the world. MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR A Brilliant Future In 2018, Cleveland Public Library enjoyed an exciting and successful year. We reopened the historic South Branch after a major restoration and preservation process, an initiative that illuminates our larger commitment to breathing new life into all our branch libraries in the coming years. To that end, nine neighborhood libraries received important repair work in 2018 as the first Felton Thomas, Jr.
